Always. And then shoved the linesman out of the way. I think he's unraveling and the refs are sick of his ****. He's such a rat


Would love it if he gets the Bunting treatment

Getting blown up by the linesman was such a bad move for him. After that, I wouldn't call anything against him unless it's ridiculous. A slight breeze is knocking him down. It would be amazing if he took a diving penalty and the PP finally scores.

Why don’t the Leafs PP just abandon any type of plan, improvise instead, and force the Bruins to scramble?

Cause you might as well invite a SHG from them

The Bruins wouldn’t be able to exploit the Leafs PP system (now 1/20) if there isn’t a plan to begin with.

They would if you dont plan and just wing it makes it more likely for a SHG

Watch how coordinated BOS PK setup is a mad scramble wouldnt do much

The leafs entry system especially is how they are dismantling them rn

Ok fair enough. The Leafs can’t continue to do the same things on the PP though, it’s insane by definition

If our special teams are even average, we win this in 4

It's unreal how bad they've been

Even Manny Malhotra's PP wasnt as bad as what we are seeing from this team rn and thats just a wow moment

5% with the opportunities BOS has given = embarrassing

And dont even get me started on the 5 on 5 scoring issues. Fact NSH is ahead of us is just sad lul

The fact we had a 4min PP and BOS is outshooting us this period is just sad.

Even though its 1-0 Leafs are gonna need 2 more goals to force a game 7 calling it now

BOS is gonna come out swinging in the third

The one thing the Leafs CANNOT do is sit back on their heels just because they have the lead. The Leafs need to beware that the Bruins will be even more aggressive and fired up than they already are.

That was Willy's 6th goal in an elimination game. Anyone who says he doesn't show up, doesn't pay attention. Now just score a PP goal although I bet the refs put away the whistle moving forward.

The fact Leafs always choose to play like this when their backs to the wall and never at the start of a series is always frustrating

Only time I saw them go for the kill was last year vs. TBL

Won game 2 convincingly

Stole game 3 and 4

And then in game 5 broke the curse with everyone performing well.

Imagine if they played like this game 1,3 and 4 series may have already been over and we would be facing FLA lul

Anyways game aint over but lets see what they decide to do

Thought it was funny how they dropped the puck for 0.1 seconds left, good thing Nylander scored on that breakaway. I don’t think Woll losing his shutout at the last possible split-second is top of mind though
